====== Should I Eat My Egg First at Breakfast? ======

Yes — if you're having a breakfast with a hard-boiled egg and fruit (like berries or a banana), it's better to eat the egg first. Here's why:

===== Benefits of Eating the Egg First =====

  * **Keeps Your Energy Steady**
    * Eggs have protein and fat, which slow down how fast your body absorbs sugar from fruit or bread.
    * This helps prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes.

  * **Makes You Feel Full**
    * Protein and fat trigger fullness hormones (like GLP-1 and PYY).
    * Eating the egg first helps you feel satisfied sooner, which may reduce overeating.

  * **Improves Blood Sugar and Insulin Response**
    * Eating protein and fat before carbs improves how your body handles sugar.
    * Your insulin response is smoother, which is especially helpful for people with prediabetes or diabetes.

===== Suggested Food Order =====

If your breakfast includes:
  * 🥚 A hard-boiled egg
  * 🍌 Some fruit
  * 🍞 A slice of toast or other carbs

**Eat in this order:**
  - Egg
  - Fruit
  - Toast

This helps you stay full longer, keep your energy more stable, and reduce sugar spikes.

===== Summary =====

Eating your egg first is a small but smart change that can help:
  * Keep your blood sugar steady
  * Improve satiety
  * Support better energy and mood throughout the day

This approach is especially helpful for older adults, people with blood sugar concerns, or anyone trying to stay energized and avoid mid-morning crashes.
